Yeah, and I think a lot of times when we win fights, it can be very, very hard to actually see our victory because we don't see the world that could have been if we didn't fight. And that's the thing I think about with the first Trump administration, where during the first Trump administration, they absolutely wanted to be doing this kind of shit.

And they were able to do a lot of terrible stuff, but they weren't able to sort of go this far because of the kind of mass mobilizations that shut down a lot of the kinds of things that they wanted to do.

And we can never see an image of all of the people who got to continue living their lives because we stopped them. And that I think is another sort of powerful tool here.
